Remember the name Wyatt Nelson.
The 12-year-old from Saskatoon, Sask., got an opportunity to call play-by-play of Game 2 between the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks for a St. Louis radio station Tuesday.

Wyatt and father, Gerry, who his blind, were invited to the game after being featured on the league's "Day with the Cup" series earlier this month.

Wyatt got experience calling WHL games as a means of describing them for his father.
He got a call from one of his heroes, legendary broadcaster Mike "Doc" Emrick, after his on-air experience.
"(Emrick) is one of the guys I quite like and want to be when I am calling a game," Wyatt told NHL.com's Shawn P. Roarke. "That was really cool."
He also met venerable hockey voice Bob Cole, who was calling the game for Sportsnet on Tuesday.
Gerry was incredibly proud of his son.
"At 12 years old, I don't think I could have done what he just did, not in front of that many people and on the air," Gerry said.
"Calling a Western Hockey League game is one thing; the NHL is something entirely different. I'm so proud of him. I think he just rocked it."
